How to Fix CVE-2024-27763

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Basicsr dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

basicsr fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install basicsr>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show basicsr

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-27763, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show basicsr

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Basicsr in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show basicsr command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Basicsr, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

XPixelGroup BasicSR through 1.4.2 might locally allow code execution in contrived situations where "scontrol show hostname" is executed in the presence of a crafted SLURM_NODELIST environment variable.
